The author of this essay, Miles Mathis, presents a theory that Grace Kelly faked her own death in 1982. Mathis bases this theory on what he perceives as inconsistencies and illogical elements in the official account of Grace Kelly’s fatal car accident near Monte Carlo. He points to the survival of her daughter Stephanie, who was allegedly in the car with minor injuries, as unlikely given the described circumstances of a 120-foot fall off a cliff.
Mathis further questions the medical reports, which he claims were contradictory and later admitted to be fabricated for unspecified political reasons. He highlights that Grace Kelly typically used a chauffeur and disliked driving, especially on winding roads. The reason provided for her driving herself – a backseat full of dresses – is deemed absurd, especially for Princesses of Monaco.
The author analyzes photographs of the alleged crash site, arguing that the retaining wall shown is not consistent with a vehicle going through it, and points out that the car’s location after the crash does not align with the described trajectory. He also disputes Stephanie’s account of putting the car in “park” and pulling the emergency brake, calling it impossible and proof of coached dialogue. The choice of a Rover 3500 for Grace Kelly is also questioned, as it is described as a “poor man’s Rolls Royce,” and Princesses of Monaco would be expected to drive more luxurious vehicles like Bentleys or Aston Martins.
Mathis suggests that Prince Rainier’s public statements about the Mafia possibly wanting to kill Grace Kelly were a diversionary tactic to steer attention away from the truth. He notes the convenient absence of palace staff during the accident and the delayed notification of most staff. The author also suspects fabricated names for doctors involved in her case, citing the presence of two doctors named Chatelain(e).
The location of the accident, the “Devil’s Curse” curve, and the Princess Grace hospital are seen as symbolic choices. Mathis finds it unbelievable that the Princess Grace hospital lacked a brain scanner, while smaller facilities had them, and questions the reason for not transferring Grace Kelly to a facility with more advanced equipment. The swift decision to take her off life support the next day is also deemed unusual.
The author’s primary motivation for believing the death was faked stems from his belief that Grace Kelly’s marriage to Prince Rainier was a disaster, an arranged union possibly orchestrated by Aristotle Onassis to ensure Monaco’s independence from France. He speculates that Grace Kelly was possibly gay or frigid, and the marriage was a public facade. He suggests Grace Kelly may have been “tapped” for the role of princess by Phoenicians (a term Mathis uses for a shadowy elite group) to serve their interests.
Mathis further delves into Grace Kelly’s potential sexuality, referencing her prior engagement to Oleg Cassini, who he believes was gay, and her subsequent marriages and relationships, suggesting a pattern of relationships used as “beards” to conceal homosexuality. He extends this theory to Prince Rainier, citing his son Prince Albert’s alleged homosexuality and Rainier’s father’s background. The article touches on the history of succession issues within the Grimaldi family, attributing them to homosexuality.
The author also scrutinizes genealogical connections, claiming Grace Kelly had significant Jewish ancestry through her mother’s side, naming several family lines such as Majer, Schaber, Koch, Ziegler, Adam, Bothe, Burkhardt, Reiss, Sammet, Somnier, Beringer, Bauer, Berg, and Hoffman. He suggests her paternal grandmother was also Jewish, linking her to Costello and Burke families, and subsequently to George Washington and the Kennedys. He also traces Grace Kelly’s Jewish heritage through Mae Altschuk and Catherine Callender, connecting them to MI6 and Hamiltons. The author links Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier through shared Salian roots and Phoenician connections.
Mathis concludes that Grace Kelly was a gay (or frigid) Phoenician liar who faked her death to escape her marriage and life in Monaco. He cites her final interview where she expressed a desire to be reincarnated as a dog and a perceived discrepancy in her wedding ring in various photographs and video footage as further evidence. The author believes the entire marriage may have been staged to fool France and that Grace Kelly spent less time in Monaco than publicly acknowledged, appearing only for photo opportunities.
Summary:
The author, Miles Mathis, proposes that Grace Kelly faked her death in a 1982 car accident near Monte Carlo. He argues the official account is riddled with inconsistencies, including the survival of her daughter Stephanie with minor injuries, questionable medical reports, Grace Kelly’s aversion to driving, and implausible explanations for the accident. Mathis scrutinizes photos of the crash site, questions the condition of the car, and criticizes the choice of vehicle. He suggests Prince Rainier’s public statements were diversions and points to convenient staff absences and questionable medical personnel. The author believes the marriage was a staged arrangement, possibly to maintain Monaco’s independence from France, and speculates about Grace Kelly’s and Prince Rainier’s sexuality, suggesting a pattern of homosexuality within both families and extensive Jewish ancestry for Grace Kelly. He concludes that Grace Kelly faked her death to escape an unhappy, arranged marriage and achieve anonymity, supported by her desire for reincarnation as a dog and the perceived absence of her wedding ring in key moments.
